Blue Hook Aquatics

I was hoping for some cheaper more basic fish, but my daughter loved the ones she got. you can tell the maintenance on the tanks is top notch. We will definitely be going back.

So glad I found this place. Owner is great. Love that the fish are quarantined before sale. Tanks are all maintained nice. I saw no sick fish. Also no shared water between tanks. Great place to go for guaranteed healthy fish! My Bolivian Ram is doing well.

I've been keeping fish for 55 years, back in the day there were true hobbyist stores. Haven't seen them for 25 years, until today. This store, has a great variety of healthiest fish I've seen in all my years visiting shops. Not a sick fish in the store. The prices were very fair. In one trip it became my store.

Awesome place to buy fish. And definitely know what he’s talking about. Great selection. Great place and will keep going!!! Love my tank!

My new favorite fish store! He knows his fish they are well kept and in proper environments. First choice in fish shopping no doubt. The man is so friendly and helpful. He even helped bring my son into the experience. Here are some of the beautiful fish I got here.

We used to go to Monfort Aquarium but over time they have struggled keeping healthy fish in stock. We then looked around and found Daves shop and its an awesome local fish store! I will not go to any other ones now because I know he has the best quality fish, shrimp, and knowledge!

HANDS DOWN best fish store in tristate area if you are a freshwater hobbiest! I've been to every aquatic store in Cincinnati and NKY and this is the only place that quarantines their fish for 10 days at his house before he even puts them in the store. He has the healthiest fish I've seen in a LFS. Carry's all top notch fish and needs. If your a cichlid lover like me this is the store you wanna shop at.

Dave is amazing. Got me the 3 most perfect Fishes for my boyfriend birthday

No pressure on buying anything & to repeat a previous review, has an awesome selection of Cichlids.

Love this place. Owner is very knowledgeable and great to talk fish with.

Well has a excellent variety of cichlids I purchased all my fish from him have not lost the one his experience and knowledge is awesome I would recommend him to anybody

Hands down the best aquarium store in Cincinnati for fresh and salt water supplies and fish. I've never seen cleaner tanks or healthier fish in this area, and my wife and I have been to a dozen. The shop is run entirely by one person and his wife, he's very passionate about what he does and is a wealth of knowledge.

We've purchased beautiful discus, plecos, rams, unique tetras, rocks, supplies, you name it. Whenever a fish is struggling they always know exactly what to do and I'm amazed with how knowledgeable and friendly they are.

The owner has even given me a discount when a discus didn't make since I made such a large purchase.

My wife and I love coming here and are already life long customers!

Great owner and great customer service! Bought a saltwater fish from him before driving an hour to work and then a 4 hour shift and he bagged it in an extra large bag with PLENTY of air so that the little guy would have plenty of oxygen and he comfortable in the bag for his journey home to my aquarium. Definitely great customer service!

I drove here from Troy because I couldn't find any other shops with the specific fish I wanted. I'm so glad I made the drive. Dave was super friendly and easy to talk with, the shop was very clean and I could definitely tell a lot of care goes in to the fish there. The prices are also really good. I left with a nice piece of driftwood, that I hadn't planned on getting when I went in, but the price was much better than I've seen anywhere else.
My Blue Acara are beautiful and I hope they'll settle in nicely.

So I drove down from Dayton and the store was super easy to find. Doors opened at noon and once inside I was like a kid in a candy store. What an awesome setup. The store was so clean and the tanks are crystal clear. There's a good variety of fish and it's very clear that Dave knows fish. I highly recommend this shop and I'm sure that I will be back. Great job Dave!

Nice selection of fish. Tanks are clean, prices are good, and fish all look healthy. Extremely nice selection of plecos that you can't find at other lfs!!!

Great place! You can tell he loves his job. We went in just to buy a couple Rams for our freshwater tank and left with enough materials to start up our other Saltwater tank. Pricing was too good to pass up. Our new fish friends are in great shape and of high quality.

Wonderful selection of fish he has great knowledge of fish and is super helpful. I love how when he gets new fish he will take them to his home and corinting the fish himself to make sure everything is going to be great for you when you come in and buy them. Thanks for going the extra mile

Have had nothing but good experiences every time I come to this establishment. The owner is always very friendly and willing to help. All the fish I have purchased over the numerous times I’ve been here are thriving and doing great.

Blue Hook Aquatics is absolutely my new favorite place to go for my aquarium. I have been in multiple times just to ask questions, and on every occasion they have taken the time to answer every single one. They have an incredible selection of salt water and fresh water fish and you can tell that they truly care for them all. The knowledge they have of their products is impeccable. They also quarantine every single fish that they have for sale which saves me a huge step. Not to mention that they are so kind. I promise you, that if you just walk through the door your interest in aquariums will definitely be heightened.
